Melbourne : CSIRO Publishing, Australia xiv 641 pp. [416] (this species was transferred by Balss to his new genus Planopilumnus, 1933, but the type of Planopilumnus, P. spongiosus (Nobili, 1905), is not actually a pilumnid, and the genus and its subfamily, the Planopilumninae, are here placed in the family Goneplacidae. Pilumnus labyrinthicus Miers is treated as a Pilumnus for convenience until a new genus is described to accommodate it (P.K.L. Ng, in prep.))
